I've been working on this loose interpretation of a hand tool cabinet I saw in 2010 on the cover of Wood magazine:
.
I have the base built. In fact I built it around 5 years ago. But like many of my projects I start, I put them on the back burner and seem to never complete. I didn't like the interior of the top cabinet which is basically just shelving. I wanted a ramped plane till. In 2013, Mike Pekovich posted some videos of his own build that were to my liking on the FWW website. I switched gears and pretty much copied the interior of his wall cabinet. Although mine is built with plywood joined with a combination of pocket screws and dominos, not highfalutin dovetails and through tenons like his.
Aside from fabricating some panels for the top and bottom, I'm more or less done. I used maple plywood for the carcase and door frames and solid cherry raised panels for the front:
I've got a few more tools to hang but mostly, I'll leave the inside compartments empty for future acquisitions.
